I can't travel far from Shirley. Is there a reason why all Shirley conveyancers aren't included on all bank panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a practice must have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some building societies made a decision to reduce the number of practices they allow to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of service given by any Shirley conveyancer on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are differing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via the Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Shirley?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
We are aiming to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Shirley. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this can only happen once the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Shirley or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Shirley.
We are buying a end of terrace house in Shirley. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Shirley will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Shirley solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
